It does, *but* ...
static inline void *xa_mk_value(unsigned long v)
{
WARN_ON((long)v < 0);
return (void *)((v << 1) | 1);
}
... you can't pass an integer that has the top bit set to it.

Yes, that's the purpose of xa_mk_value(). From what you said, it sounded
like you were just storing the integer directly, which won't work.

You haven't tested that on 32-bit, have you? Shift vid by 8 instead of
16, and it'll be fine.
(Oh, and you don't need to cast vid; the standard C integer promotions
will promote vid to int before shifting, and you won't lose any bits)
